SEWANEE, Tenn. - The Sewanee football team, trailing 14-0 at the half, rallied to get the contest to a one-score game, but could not record the game-tying score, as the Tigers fall to the Majors of Millsaps, 21-14, Saturday afternoon from Historic Hardee-McGee Field at Harris Stadium.

HOW IT HAPPENED
-The Majors defense held in check for the first 30 minutes of the contest, allowing the Tigers to just 59 total yards of offense on 21 plays to the Majors' 276 on 45 plays.

-Millsaps opened the scoring with a 15-yard reception to Ty Durham with 5:22 left in the first quarter that capped a 14-play, 74-yard drive.

-In the second, the Majors struck again with a one-yard rush by Tyler Muse to complete a drive that started at their own five-yard-line.

-The Majors attempted to make it a 17-point lead late in the half, however, Hunter Sellen's 21-yard field goal was wide left, and the lead remained 14-0 in favor of the visitors from the Magnolia State.

-The Tigers finally broke the shut out with a 37-yard touchdown reception by Drew Maddox, and thanks to a Michael Jacobs successful point after attempt, the home team trailed by a touchdown.

-The Majors responded not only with another long drive but another score as well. Capping off a 15-play, 82-yard drive was Quinton Oliver's one-yard touchdown run to put the score to 21-7 in favor of the Majors.

-After the Majors offense scored, the defense held Sewanee to a three-and-out on the next drive. However, after Ben Brown's punt landed 36 yards from his foot, Tre' Blakes fumbled the ball, and Brinley Rhys was there to pick up the fumble to keep the possession going for the Purple and Gold.

-Millsaps, trying to run the clock out, was forced to punt with two and a half minutes left in the contest, and the Tigers started at their own 32-yard-line. After achieving a first down on the first play from scrimmage, the Tigers could not advance the ball past the 45.

-With two timeouts left, the Tigers were able to get the ball back after a defensive stop. With 33 seconds left, the Tigers retained possession and got the ball to the Millsaps 29, but back-to-back incomplete passes by Darras that saw the clock expire sealed the win for the Majors.

-For the game, Millsaps kept the football for 37:42 to Sewanee's 22:18.
